I was in the area, getting a few things for free for my birthday month, so this was the second stop I made during my lunch break. The place wasn't packed, but there was a line with about 3-4 people waiting to place their orders. If you join the mailing list, you get a free 7" sub (the smallest kind) during your birthday month--you just tell them your phone number. After some deliberation, I finally decided on a chicken pesto coldwich, with wheat bread and cheddar cheese.
The first Which Wich I went to was in Greenville, and I think the concept is really very cute. It's a quick service sandwich shop that is leaps and bounds better than Subway, but not as fresh as Publix, and not as delicious as Firehouse. Nonetheless, the sandwiches are good, and they give you a good amount of control over the ingredients. You fill out what you want on the provided brown paper sandwich bags, hand it to the cashier, and then you get your sandwich made to your specifications. These include 2 types of bread, choice of making it a skinny sandwich, bowlwich, or lettucewich. Then there are 8 types of cheese, 14 types of dressings (from buffalo sauce to different kinds of mayos or mustards), 17 types of veggies (yes, you can check multiples of these), and 5 types of spices. You can even see the people prepping them behind the counter, so I liked that they had that kind of transparency. Since there were several people ahead of me, it did take a little while to get the sandwich, but you know, can one really complain too much when you are getting a free meal?
PROS:
-Free 7" sub during your birthday month when you sign up for the email newsletter.
-You can order ahead of time and pick up when you get there.
-Sandwich taste was pretty good, and the choice of ingredients is fairly expansive.
-A good amount of outdoor seating.
CONS:
-Relatively slow service with about 3-4 people ahead of me, so be prepared to wait if there are more ahead of you.
-The bread ended up being soggy by the time I ate the sandwich, though I'm not really sure from what since I didn't get anything too saucy on it. I haven't experienced pesto getting a sandwich soggy in the past, but maybe that's what it was?
-Parking is kind of weird here, and the spots closer to this building can fill up very quickly.
THE VERDICT:
Pretty good sandwich, with a ton of choices offered--there is something for any kind of taste here. I wouldn't say the ingredients are the freshest I've tried (I'm looking at you, Publix) but they are fairly good, and this sandwich place is definitely worth a visit (or at least a once-a-year visit when they send you an offer for a free birthday sub!)
